Install Freetube (which has sponsorblock already), then get the FreeTube redirect addon

I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:

• Firefox
• UBO
• SponsorBlock
• Return YouTube Dislikes
• DeArrow
• Archive.ph

I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.

I've been using Ghostery for years now and I don't know whether or not it's still relevant.

I might start using Firefox once it has proper multi-account/profile features like Chrome.

I recently tried it but it's such a hassle to set up and switch between them.

Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.

Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.

Install the LibRedirect extension and fiddle a bit with the settings to automatically redirect to privacy respecting alternatives away from ad heavy sites.

sponsorblock, return youtube dislike

If you don’t have this kit you will be bombarded to Temu’s ads!

Be careful with using Privacy Badger and uBO together as it might get in each other's way. I had YouTube detect me having ad block until I paused Privacy Badger for YT.

Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.

IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is "I Still Don't Care About Cookies".

I'd actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.

NewPipe and FreeTube if you want YT subscriptions without ads

Addy.io or simplelogin for email account signups
